Notes

This is the site of the medieval parish church of St Quivox, later conjoined to Ayr parish. Building was substantially altered in 18th century. In the early sixteenth century Aberdeen Calendar suggests that the cult of 'Sancte Keuoce virginis non martyris' was popular, drawing people to her church: 'a populo vndique vicino laudibus et deuotione frequentatur' (Ab. Cal. 262).
NMRS suggests the building may embody material from its medieval predecessor.
